Vantage Data Centers is building a second data center campus (LHR2) in London supported by an investment of £250 million.
LHR2 will consist of a single data center that will deliver 20MW of IT capacity across 194,000 square feet (18,000 square meters). Located in Park Royal, London’s largest industrial area, the site is less than 30 minutes from the London Heathrow airport and nearby hotels in the city center, offering critical accessibility for customers. LHR2 will open its doors to customers in early 2025.
The news comes just three months after the company announced its initial entrance into the market with a £500 million 48MW campus (LHR1).
“Expanding our presence in London, the largest of the FLAP data center markets and one of the largest global markets, enables Vantage to meet unprecedented demand for critical IT capacity and helps strengthen the region’s digital infrastructure,” said Antoine Boniface, president, EMEA for Vantage Data Centers. “Vantage’s unique ability to rapidly scale to this magnitude continues to set the company apart from the rest of the industry.
“To support our ongoing developments, operations and business across EMEA, Vantage is also increasing our regional team by nearly 55% this year. Adding new team members positions us to best serve our current and future customers to enable their growth and ongoing success.”
